A peaceful park with a panoramic view now marks the spot where one of West Virginia’s largest and last important battles was fought on November 6, 1863. The decisive victory of Union forces under General William W. Averell over the Confederate army under General John Echols ended serious efforts by the Confederacy to control West Virginia.
